Excerpt from Religious Education and Its Failures While God remains faithful to His promises the Catholic Church can never fail; but in no age have there been wanting dangers which seemed to presage its failure. From the days of Diocletian's persecution, the "leakage" has filled the faithful with dismay and outsiders with exultation; yet historical calculations show a steady and great increase in every century. The advance of the Church at this day in numbers, in cohesion, in zeal, in up-to-date culture, is one of the marvels of a wonderful age; yet from every quarter rings the lament over the enormous "leakages" from her ranks. There is an analogy to this in God's other kingdom of Nature. The primeval forests grow in luxuriance and majesty and extent year by year, notwithstanding the countless multitudes of young shoots which appear and perish. But the analogy of Nature must not allow us to stand contented, as if it were inevitable that millions should fail to survive in the struggle for supernatural existence. It is the desire of the Almighty that not one should be lost, and He has provided that all should come to a knowledge of the truth.

Excerpt from Religious Education and the Public School: An American Problem At the meeting of the Inter-Church Conference in Carnegie Hall, New York, in November, 1905, at which twenty-nine Protestant Churches of America were represented, one of the papers treated the question of Weekday Religious Instruction. Its main proposition was favorably received, and the following resolution was adopted by the Conference: Resolved, That in the need of more systematic education in religion, we recommend for the favorable consideration of the Public School authorities of the country the proposal to allow the children to absent themselves without detriment from the public schools on Wednesday or on some other afternoon of the school week for the purpose of attending religious instruction in their own churches; and we urge upon the churches the advisability of availing themselves of the opportunity so granted to give such instruction in addition to that given on Sunday. The further consideration of the subject was referred to the Executive Committee. By direction of this Committee a report on Week-day Instruction in Religion was presented at the First Meeting of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, held in Philadelphia in 1908.

Excerpt from Religious Education in the Family When the Constructive Studies were first projected the church was almost without textbooks in religious education. The Sunday school had always concerned itself with a discussion of the passages of the Bible, but had learned little about proper methods of ascertaining the significance of that literature. The most pressing need, therefore, at the beginning of the new movement in religious education was the preparation of textbooks that should direct students to the correct method of the examination of the biblical material and consideration of its meaning, in order that they might construct for themselves the life, the experience, the teaching therein contained. These Constructive Studies in the Bible have now attained a practically complete curriculum, and the series will continue to be enlarged and improved. But a thorough system of religious education will comprise in addition to a biblical curriculum many other studies. And these also ought to be constructive. That is to say, students in religion and morals should be observers, investigators, using textbooks as guides that may help them to build up right attitudes, appreciations, understandings.

Excerpt from Religious Education and Democracy The present world situation compels a serious reexamination of the foundations of democracy. Especially does it necessitate a consideration of educational processes and materials. In the haste to achieve efficiency may it not be that some indispensable values have been sacrificed? The words of Jesus sound again with a new emphasis: "What shall it profit a man. if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" The same applies to a nation as well as to the individual. "Has democracy failed?" men are asking to-day. Has Christianity failed? These have not failed, but, as one recent writer has said, they have been found difficult and have not yet been fairly tried. Under the conviction that a fresh study of the relation of religious education to democracy would just now be especially timely, the present writer prepared for the Commission on Christian Education of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America a Survey of Week-day Religious Instruction. In this task many valuable suggestions and criticisms were made by the members of the Commission. The writer would express his peculiar obligation to the chairman, Dean W. F. Tillett, D.D.; the secretary, the Rev. H. H. Meyer, D.D.; and to the chairman of the special subcommittee appointed for this purpose, Professor W. J. Thompson, D.D. This Survey, which appeared as a part of the Quadrennial Report of the Commission, has been carefully revised and is now contained in Part I of the present volume.

Excerpt from Religious Education in the Public Schools of the State and City of New York: A Historical Study In consequence of disagreement between the Nine Men and the Director, in 1649, the former presented a memorial and remonstrance to the states-general Of Holland, setting forth the reasons and cause Of the great decay of New Netherland, and in what manner New N ether land should be relieved. Under the latter head is found the following complaint: There ought to be also a public school provided with at least two good teachers, so that the youth, in so wild a country, where there are so many dissolute people, may, first of all, be well instructed and indoctrinated not only in reading and writing, but also in the knowledge and fear Of the Lord (n.

Excerpt from The Religious Education of Adolescents In selecting and preparing the material for this little volume, the author has intentionally avoided the exclusively academic and scholastic point of View. The needs Of parents, teachers and other adult leaders, who are facing practical problems, have been kept in mind. Indeed, many of the paragraphs were written for the express purpose Of answering questions which had been asked by per sons who were facing perplexing situations in their own homes or schools. During the past three years, the author has delivered several short courses of lectures in con munity schools Of religious education and in sum mer schools on such subjects as: The Psychology Of Adolescent Boyhood, The Religious Nurture Of Adolescent Young People, The Psychology of Religion, and Principles and Methods Of Recrea tional Leadership. As collateral reading in these courses, one monograph Of a series Of pamphlets formerly published by the American Institute of Child Life Of Philadelphia: The Government Of Adolescent Young People, prepared by William Byron Forbush, was used. The demand for it soon exhausted the third edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Religious Education in the Church The world is not indifferent to religion; it is becoming more conscious of its spiritual needs. There is almost a religious devotion in the principal charge against the church, that it is not on to its job. This seems to mean not alone that it is inefficient, but that it does not perceive its task. That is the heart of the problem, the lack of a sufficiently clear, distinct, and definite function, one that will meet a need otherwise unmet, one that Will convince the minds, . Enlist the wills, and win the hearts of all men and women of spiritual perceptions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
